Saturday morning, and the Bean Life Science Museum was buzzing with visitors. The occasion? Charles Darwin’s birthday. One of history’s most esteemed naturalists, Darwin is famous for his theory of evolution by natural selection. And every year, the Bean Museum hosts a “birthday party” in his honor, complete with activities and treats.
By the end of the event, visitors were able to walk away with a greater appreciation for Charles Darwin, one of the people whose ideas have helped bring us to a greater understanding of our natural world and the processes by which it operates.
